CT Tamburello has some unfinished business to attend to, according to his estranged wife.
On Sunday, Catalina Hager left a short and direct response to an E! News post announcing that CT was dating his former ‘Traitors’ costar Phaedra Parks, writing “Sign the papers” followed by three clapping emojis.
Catalina later spoke to TMZ about CT’s new romance (which she hinted may not be genuine). She also accused CT of being the one holding up their divorce.
“I genuinely wish Chris well in whatever relationship or career he chooses to pursue,” Catalina told the site on Monday. “I’m not interested in commenting on whether his new relationship is real, for publicity, or anything in between.”
“What I would like is for him to put the same energy into ending our marriage that he’s putting into publicly promoting his new relationship,” Catalina continued. “Since then, I’ve been trying to finalize this divorce. My counsel has made repeated efforts to move things forward as quickly as possible, and we continue to wait for his cooperation.”
As The Ashley previously reported, Catalina is not asking for spousal support, something she reiterated in her interview with TMZ.
“I do not—and never did—need or want money from this man. I’m not asking for anything from him other than his cooperation in finalizing our divorce,” she added. “If Chris is ready to publicly move on, he should be ready to legally move on too. Sign the papers!”
Catalina and CT have had a tumultuous relationship, one The Ashley has been tracking since the pair made it Internet-official by releasing a sex tape on her OnlyFans page in fall 2024. (They started dating in 2023, around the same time his divorce from Lilianet Solares was finalized.)
The two have been on-again-off-again ever since, with CT publicly accusing her of cheating and Catalina defending herself on social media before they reconciled.
In the midst of all that drama, CT shared that he and Catalina had married in October 2024. Less than two years later, divorce proceedings began. She filed this January but in May, decided to give it another go and had the case dismissed.
A month later, the divorce was back on, with CT filing this time.
In her interview with TMZ on Monday, Catalina stated that it was CT who “pressured” her to drop the divorce case this spring.
Catalina, like CT, has made it clear that she has moved on from ‘The Challenge’ vet. She recently posted an Instagram Reel showing her base-jumping in Utah with the caption, “Would you rather jump off a cliff or go back to your ex?”
CT spent the weekend with his new love, bringing Phaedra to Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony. On Instagram, Phaedra posted a slideshow of the pair, writing, “Some came for the awards. I came with the prize. Thank you to the real trophy for making a beautiful night even better.”
Trishelle Cannatella, who appeared with CT and Phaedra on ‘The Traitors’ wrote, “Love you two together. Been waiting 2 years for this”.
One reality star who’s not cheering the new match is Angelina Pivarnick from Jersey Shore. She replied to the same E! News post that Catalina commented on, “Soo much I could say right now because I know what really happened lol”. Angelina’s received dozens of comments urging her to spill but has yet to.

[…] The Ashley told you last week, Catalina made a similar remark on an E! News post announcing CT and Phaedra’s relationship, writing, “Sign the papers,” […]
Divorced twice in 3 years? I thought Phaedra was smarter than this
Idc about their relationship, but the dude’s face look hella puffy in this pic that is being shared with different outlets. In The Ashley’s article, the pic of him with two dots on his face explains this, add some alcohol bloat, and the explanation seems to fit.
Third relationship disaster incoming!
I think it’s a stunt. Johnny Bananas has the exact same caption on his post of pics with CT.
SAME! I haven’t followed either of them in years (his early days of Challenge/ her Housewives), but I wonder if a little goober is going to come out of their stint? Hate to say it, but I don’t put it past either of them to do that for publicity
